Introduction (English)

This week, Matthew and Luke introduce "The Greek Reader Companion to the Companion," a spoken Ancient Greek podcast designed to accompany Mark Jeong's A Greek Reader. They discuss the pedagogical gap between learning grammar and actually reading the New Testament, their personal backgrounds in Biblical Greek, and the conversational format they will use to help students achieve reading fluency.

Topics discussed:

1. Introduction of hosts Matthew (ὁ Μαθθαῖος) and Luke (ὁ Λουκᾶς).
2. The limitations of the "Grammar-Translation" method for reading fluency.
3. The specific resource being used: Mark Jeong's A Greek Reader.
4. The podcast format: An explanation and reading of the text with comprehension questions in Greek.
